The Inner Light The Original Loretta Brown Show

- Spirituality
For over thirty-five years, renowned author, speaker, and therapist Joanne DiMaggio, MA, CHt, has pursued a passionate interest in reincarnation research and past-life therapy. She has written several books on that topic, is a highly sought-after conference speaker, and is an acclaimed guest on numerous radio programs and podcasts. So why did she decide to write a book about the Beatles?
In The Inner Light: How the Beatles Planted the Spiritual Seed in our Souls,” DiMaggio sets about to answer that question. Pulling from her experience as a Beatles fan club president from 1964-1972, you might say DiMaggio was in the “room where it happened.” Published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the group’s arrival in New York, DiMaggio opens the book with her perspective on how the sixties, the Beatles, and the Catholic Church played a role in her spiritual evolution. Through excerpts from the monthly fan club newsletters she published over those eight years, she captures the pulse of how Beatles fans were influenced by the Fab Four and how she, as a fan club president, became entangled in a David and Goliath-size battle with Beatles (U.S.A.) Ltd., the national fan club in New York, over the autonomy of all the independent fan clubs nationwide. DiMaggio breaks it down, year by year, from the innocent excitement of 1964 to the Beatles’ decision to end the fan clubs in 1972.
